Brian Moore correspondence

Subseries consists of letters from Moore to Weintraub written between 1951 and 1998 (603 letters) and from Weintraub to Moore between 1950 and 1999 (280 letters).

Correspondence with literary friends

The series of literary correspondence consists of letters exchanged between William Weintraub and Mavis Gallant (127 letters), Brian Moore (603 letters) and Mordecai Richler (210 letters). These constitute a major source for the study of three prominent Canadian writers in the last half of the twentieth century. In addition, there are copies of 280 letters from Weintraub to Moore and 123 copies of letters from Weintraub to Richler. While the Gallant correspondence dates primarily from 1980s with only 8 letters from 1950-1951, the Moore and Richler correspondence is continuous from the 1950s. This latter correspondence reveals the close involvement of Weintraub in the development of the work of both Moore and Richler.

Mavis Gallant correspondence

Correspondence consists of letters between Mavis Gallant and William Weintraub. The earliest letters are from 1950, shortly after Gallant moved to Paris from Montreal. Weintraub writes from Montreal, and then in 1951 he too travels to Europe and writes from locations in Italy, France and Spain. This early period of correspondence leaves off in 1951. The letters pick up again in 1984 and continue until 2001, as Gallant remains in Paris and Weintraub in Montreal. Topics of discussion include their careers, Quebec politics, their travels, and mutual friends such as Mordechai Richler and Brian Moore.
